Campanella Exercises for the Modern Guitar

Campanella technique is typical of Italian Baroque guitar styles. The key to its success was reentrant tuning, which is almost never employed on modern instruments. These simple exercises in C Major, G Major, and D Major offer an introduction to making rich harp-like sounds an integral part of your playing. It would be a pleasure to guide you through how these exercises might be taken further and explore fitting them to your personal tastes and goals. ​$5.00 USD.

Free Wandering
January 8, 2014
The title “Free Wandering” is associated with Taoist philosophy.  While we as human beings are obligated to a sense of order and rationality during most of our waking lives, it is important to reserve some time for exploration, expansion, and experiencing peace and harmony through complete liberation.  So I am happy to offer a one-track, 27-minute-32-second-long release that embraces free jazz, contemporary classical, and folk-inspired music without losing sight of my own styles.  I want to see all I can see without getting lost.  I guess getting lost is not always bad . . .Free Wandering (27:32)______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Ut supra sic infra

November 2, 2013

On this album you will find music from Renaissance-era England and Spain, jazz, and original compositions inspired by a long history of classical guitar tradition.  There are three sets of improvisations on typical ground basses in use during the nascent stages of the Spanish diferencias.  These early “differences” were actually precursors to theme and variations form and, as may be gleaned from the jazz music on this album, I am tracing a lineage of modern improvised music.  One would be correct to assume that one of my musical goals is to reconnect written tradition with improvisatory roots.

This is a poem arranged in an original configuration to which I have given the name “sound.”  I have another original form called the “song.”  I have written several poems in the song form to which I will be adding music.  The sound may be likened more to instrumental music, a less naturally melodic style.  This first sound is available for $1.00 USD Digital, $2.00 USD (plus shipping) Autographed Hard Copy.

A short poem of mine about the individual’s life in the eyes of the divine.  $1.00 USD Digital, $2.00 USD (plus shipping) Autographed Hard Copy.

The theme of this album has to do with the solo artist in comparison with the concept of the homer sacer (Latin for “sacred man”).  Much more complicated than the translation implies, this idea infers study of law in Western society and notions of the profane.  The music ranges from Gregorian chant to original compositions in a modern choro style.  Released July 18, 2013.  $5.00 USD Digital, $10.00 USD (plus shipping) Autographed CD.1 – Extranjero (3:38)
